Speaker: Dr. Cecilie Hellestveit (Associate Professor, Norwegian University of Science and Technology; former Member, Council on Ethics, Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global).
Topic: A CILRAP Conversation on World Order focusing, inter alia, on the collapse of what may be seen as a ‘European notion of world order’; structural explanations for the apparent weakening of the prohibition on the use of force; territorial concessions as a possible precedent for peace settlements and the notion of ‘qualified sovereignty’ in Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations; the discomfort of international lawyers vis-à-vis ‘hybrid warfare’; the integration of artificial intelligence in war-fighting, fully autonomous agents, and the ‘Faustian pact’ in international humanitarian law; internal disagreements of Israelis and Palestinians driving conflict; the Palestinian use of ‘lawfare’; the role of neutral ‘protecting states’ in the 1949 Geneva Conventions; and the risks associated with renegotiating international humanitarian law in present day.
